Week 6 Individual Project

This week you will start work on your Final Project for this module. The purpose of the Final Project is to apply the concepts and techniques of the module to the analysis of a real-world case study. You are expected to carry out an original analysis rather than summarise or rehash existing work.

Your task for Week 6 is to prepare and hand in a Project Proposal that includes the nature of the project and the most important concepts and techniques to be applied. You should also identify any expectations prior to analysis as well as any limitations or problems that you may encounter. You will receive feedback on the Proposal from the Instructor in Week 7, which will give you time to make adjustments.

Specifically, you need to read the case study titled, 'Hansson Private Label, Inc.: Evaluating an Investment in Expansion'. This document can be accessed via the following link:https://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/pl/66081513/66081515/a111980aaedb281546cb08326a1becfa. For the Final Project, which is to be handed in during Week 10, you will need to complete the following tasks:

• Analyse HPL with regards to their business operations, strategy and past performance.
• Identify and evaluate the decision that is facing Tucker Hansson.
• Completion of the following with regard to the project:
• Cash flow forecasts
• Net present value
• Internal rate of return
• NPV sensitivity to key cash flows and valuation drivers
• Present an analysis of the computations that you completed and a recommendation for HPL regarding the project in both economic and strategic terms.
• Discussion of alternative options
• Assessment of the organisation's policy and process with regard to capital planning, including recommendations for change

For the Project Proposal to be submitted this week, you need to identify the key issues involved with the case including:

• What is the problem/question at hand?
• How will you evaluate the project?
• What risks does the HPL face with this project?
• How can such risks be addressed?
• What assumptions must be made and what limitations are present?
